This latest film "Blue" released during the New Year, with more soothing and grand background music, also stretches the time to a longer passage of time:
In the following time,
The ocean-going ship [Fifth Builder] and [Eternal Night] conducted further knowledge exchanges.
at first,
The two sides maintained a certain distance and alertness because of their lack of understanding of each other.
But as time goes by, this strangeness is gradually replaced by warmth and curiosity.
As the exchange deepened, the crew was invited to visit this unique town.
Here, the elements of steampunk are perfectly integrated with the mystery of night civilization, showing a strange scene after the first industrial revolution in the Middle Ages.
Rolling steam spurts out from the towering chimney from time to time, driving various mechanical devices to operate.
From the huge steam lanterns used for lighting to the steam rail cars used to transport goods, they all demonstrate the aboriginal people's unique understanding and application of technology and nature.
What’s even more amazing is that,
The crew learned from the indigenous people that their ancestors were also victims of the "drifting phenomenon".
In order to escape unknown disasters or find a new place to live,
Their ancestors also sailed across the boundless ocean on huge ships, and finally settled in this forgotten land.
After generations of reproduction and development,
Not only did they adapt to the Evernight environment, they also created their own civilization on this land.
——A medieval industrial town that combines steampunk, lights and darkness.
It can hardly even be called a small town anymore.
perhaps,
The term kingdom would be more appropriate.
So under the endless night, this country of steam and steel finally quietly welcomed its most unusual visitors.
Since the shipwreck,
More and more residents of the Kingdom of Eternal Night began to know that an unexpected wave brought many craftsmen and builders dressed in khaki canvas clothes and exquisite berets here.
The main perspective of the movie is based on Toros Vic, a young craftsman who is not yet an adult.
Gently unfolding this land shrouded in eternal night.
As the first wisp of steam rose from the wreckage of the damaged steamship.
Toros, who had just disembarked from the boat and had a rest, slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw before him was an unprecedented sight:
Towering iron towers and streets studded with kerosene lampposts.
As well as the roaring steam machinery behemoths 'super heavy construction machinery' that shuttled through it.
Time passes slowly like this,
After more than half a year of adaptation,
Many crew members have also adapted to this dark, underground-like environment.
After all, although the sentinels do not have the blood of dwarf miners, some of them actually have years of experience working underground.
During this time, the young craftsman Toros Vic built a simple studio in an abandoned warehouse in the Kirigakure Port in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
He combined the mechanical technology he had learned and the unique steam technology of Kirigakure Port to create a series of amazing inventions: mechanical fireflies that can automatically illuminate, and steam compasses that can navigate in the dark.
Also one day,
As the movie screen pulls in,
He finally got the ‘ultimate good news’ from his master, Old Mott:
"Even if the boat is repaired, we may not be able to leave here.
According to my communication with the navigator Likafa,
The energy level of the storm barrier that isolates [Eternal Night] and [Lost Sea] is too high, and the channel we entered at that time was completely chaotic and unpredictable.
I don’t know whether this is due to the design of some advanced civilization or a naturally formed natural trap.
But if we want to break through this level of storm barrier, we must at least create a countertide core that uses steam energy to drive a leap that is at least three generations ahead of current science.
It might even be an imaginary science that neither the Royal Academy of Sciences of England nor the Laurentian Riel [Abyss-Julianist] Academy can create.
Even if we want to concentrate on breaking through this technology, it is very difficult.
because,
An extremely rare metal [Hist Deep Sea Alloy] is missing here.
Without it, we cannot create the [Hist Energy Core] necessary for advanced steam civilization."
After hearing what his master, Old Mott, said, Vic, who had begun to grow a little stubble, also felt the difficulty.
But he was an orphan adopted by the sentinels,
No one else is so eager to return to the real world after their life as a sailor is over.
so,
Time flies by like this.
Although Vic has grown up and has never been to the Royal City, he has also seen both sides of the streets of Wuyin Gang in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
He saw all kinds of steam machinery roaring.
Understand and participate in their birth from scratch,
Also thinking about the steam rail cars responsible for transporting goods, allowing them to shuttle continuously on fixed tracks.
Many steam forging furnaces were even built for processing and production, creating revolutions with the interweaving of fire and steam.
And during this period,
ten years.
Fifteen years.
Even twenty years passed quietly.
In this way, Toros-Vic became a young man in his thirties.
Seeing this scene, viewers all over the world probably thought: maybe this story will end like this.
But Su Wen knew how difficult it would be for Toros Vick to endure that future.
now,
The string music in the background also changed its rhythm quietly.
On the [False Morning] calculated by the Difference Engine of the Kingdom of Eternal Night, a man knocked on Vic's door.
The person who knocked on the door was his master, Old Mort, who was also a third-level transcendent.
This old man still looks strong with a white beard.
After all, after breaking through to transcendence, the lifespan of a third-level transcendent is no longer as short as one hundred years.
But no matter what,
Old Mott's arrival still surprised him:
"Master, didn't you say you were going to the royal city?"
"Yes."
Old Mott looked solemn, so he didn't even enter the house.
He just stood at the door and accepted the hot water heated by the steam boiler from Toros-Vic, and then continued:
"But the pollution there by the abyss is really bad.
The lighthouse we installed in the Lost Sea has a very poor effect here.
Can you understand this?
If even the lighthouse cannot dispel the 'black fog', the pollution will completely destroy this place."
"Threat from the abyss?"
The young Toros-Vic chewed on this sentence repeatedly, but he was actually somewhat unable to understand what exactly happened.
"Then what should we do?"
"We are probably left with the only solution now:
The lighthouse was built only as envisioned by the great architect Leonard Coverdale.
But if you want to simulate those flames that originated from the "Eternal Dawn" sect of the third era, and may even come from the "Eternal Blazing Sun" of the Twilight of the Gods in the Yuheng Era of the first era
That's almost impossible to do,
after all,
Prometheus probably never existed."
Old Mott left in loneliness.
But Vic didn't know,
this time,
It was their last meeting.
It was only after he said goodbye to his master that he finally came up with the idea of solving this crisis.
